This Advent season, we are discovering how God’s light breaks into our darkness, how His perfect timing guides our waiting, and how surrendering our plans opens us to His greater purposes. Whether you are looking for a church home or simply want to experience the wonder of Christmas, we would love to welcome you.
Come see what God can do through you at Buncombe Street!

Sermon Series Anticipation
Anticipation explores what it means to wait for God’s promises. From Israel’s longing for the Messiah to Zechariah’s doubt and Mary’s surrender, over three weeks we will discover that God works in unexpected ways with unexpected people – inviting us to hope, trust, and obey as we await Christ’s return.

Give Back This Christmas
BSMC Go Fund Missions Advent Offering
This Advent, give to the BSMC Go Fund. Established by a Buncombe Street family who stepped out in faith, this fund reduces international mission trip costs, allowing more people to say “yes” to God’s call. As we live in Anticipation of Christ’s return, let’s invest in taking His hope to the world. Your donation to the BSMC Go Fund is an investment in the Gospel going forward and in lives being transformed both here and abroad.
To give to the Missions Advent Offering, include Missions in your memo line of a check or cash donation, or when giving online, select “Advent Offering” from the drop-down list.
The trip cost for our international mission trip opportunities in 2026 has been generously reduced by $500 through the Go Fund. Space is still available on our Ecuador trip and our Costa Rica trip. Reserve your spot today!
Sponsor An Angel Buncombe Street Angel Tree
We have personally gathered names of 62 children in our Greenville community who will not get Christmas gifts without our help.We are so grateful that all of our Angels have been selected and everyone is ready to start shopping.

This Advent, as we celebrate the hope that pierced the darkness, honor or remember a loved one with a poinsettia.
